This question may be naive but I am unexperienced as a first time buyer of a two bedroom flat in Petersham. Do I receive the keys to the property on the completion date from my conveyancer? If so, I will appoint a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Petersham?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will transfer the completion advance to the vendor’s lawyers, and once they have received this, you should be called to pick up the keys from the selling Agents and move into your new home. This tends to happen early afternoon.

I am purchasing a property in Petersham. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Yorkshire BS have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
As you are obtaining a mortgage with Yorkshire BS your lawyer must check the formal requirements contained in Part 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Yorkshire BS. The CML Handbook sets out minimum provisions for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancers are required to report to Yorkshire BS where a lease does not comply with these provisions. The conditions relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not restricted to Petersham.
